IMPROVEMENT IN CHURNING-MACHINES.

'lhe Schedule referred to 1n these Letters Patent and making part of the saine.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, W. A. RHOADES, of Lincolnville, in the county of Grawfbrd, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Glnnning-Machines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a'full, clear, and exact descriplthrough the line x x, fig. 1.

Similar.l letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

My invention has for its object to furnish an improved machine,.by means of which the churning may be done easily, quickly, and conveniently; and

It consists in the construction and combination of `the various parts, as hereinafter more fully described.

A is the i'aine, the form and construction of which are immaterial.'

B is the churn, which is made cylindrical in form, and which is pivoted, at or near its middle, to the frame A, so that it may swing` or oscillate freely.

b is the cover of the churn, which is niade with a hole in its centre, providedwith a 'short outwardlyprojeeting funnel-shaped pipe, l, to admit air, and prevent'the milk ii'om spatteriug out.

C is a lod, passing down through the centre of the churn, and which may have a small plate attached to its lower end, to prevent it from wearing the bottom ofthe churn.

To the rod 0,', at different heights, are'attached semicircular perforated disks I), upon opposite sides ofthe rod G, as shown in iig. 1.

To the rod C, near its upper end, is attached a circular plate, E, iitting into the upper part of the churn B, and having a hole through it, for the admission of the air, and to prevent the spattering of the milk.

By-this construction, as the churn is oscillated, tbe

milk is forced through the semicircular perforated plates D, bringing the butter in a very short time.

'lo one side of the churn B is attached an ear, to which is pivoted one end of the rod, F, the other end of which is branched, and its ends are pivoted to the crank-pins of the crank-wheels G, which are attached to the shaft H, Awhich revolves in notches in the upright bars of the frame A, where it is secured in place by bars a' detachably secured to said upright bars.

'lo the shaft H, between thetwov crank-wheels G,

is secured a pulley, I, around which, and around the pulley J, passes the baud K.

The pulley eI is secured to the shaft L, which revolves in bearings in the upper part of the frame A,

and to one end of which is attached the crank-wheel I M, by means of which power is applied' to the inaehine, and which is made heavy, so as to serve as a. fly-wheel.

Having thus described my invention,

Lelaim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent- 1. 'Ihe rod C, the scmicircular perforated plates or disks I), and circularl plate E, in combination with the l'ylindrica-l pivoted churn B, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. rlhe eombin. tion of the branched connecting-rod F, two crank-wheels G, shaft H, pulley I, band K,

pulley J, shaft I1, and heavy crank-wheel M, with each f other, and with the churn B C D E, substantially as heroin shown and described, and folthe purpose set.

forth.
